THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROJECT, WHICH FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN A CLUB?.

When you start a project both in the business world and in the football world, it is important to establish some steps that allow us to create a quality base in both the medium and long term.

1. The style or the identity.

In corporate terms it’s called corporate identity.

Have a clear idea of how we want our team to play, what style do we want to have?. There are so many and so varied, we can see how FC Barcelona or Ajax Amsterdam are clearly teams with a very marked identity with the short pass game and position game.

For its part, Atlético de Madrid is a team with a base in the defensive game and in counterattack. Knowing what we want to play will be the basis of everything, our identity and personal brand.

2. Hire the best employees.

It sounds easy, but it’s not. Hire the best professionals, people with passion for what they do, professional in their work, with a good academic background and experience in the sector.

There are many cases in which there are clubs where employees are usually former players regardless of their worth, just having played in the club already gives them a position. Big mistake, you have to hire valid people regardless of whether they are friends or former club players.

3. Let the professionals work.

Delegate to the professionals and let them do their job, trust them. It is key that they feel important, valued and above all that they can do the work for which they are prepared.

Monitor their work but don’t make the mistake of doing it for them, mark the guidelines you want to follow but let them do it their way.

We must not forget that we all row towards the same goal.

4. Sign up young players.

Young players are usually very dedicated players to give their best in every game. They are in full evolution and growth, without forgetting that they can increase their value in the market in a short time or recover investment.

In the end it is about signing a young player, helping him to evolve and grow so that he multiplies his value in the market.

Sell the young player at a price higher than your purchase, you leave a surplus in the club and we can invest the money to buy more young players. It’s a way to close the market circle.

5. Be faithful to the plan even in the bad results.

Being faithful to the project is about trust and security. The bad results always come, you have to stay strong and not lose your head, we can doubt everything else but never the main idea or our identity.

Changing your mind and ending everything built is the first step to future failure.

Conclusion.

That’s why the main thing is corporate identity, and from there build corporate behavior, which is achieved by hiring the right people.

It’s as important to sign the right players as it is not to sign the wrong players and sell at the right time to regenerate the team, even if it has gone well.
